Global structure search and physical properties of Os2C
None:
The crystal structures of Os2C were extensively investigated using the structure search method from the first-principles calculations. In contrast to the P6 3 /mmc phase previously proposed as the ground state at ambient pressure, an energetically favorable structure with space group P-6m2 was found more stable at ambient condition. The structural stabilities of the new phase are confirmed by the phonon dispersion and elastic constants. Further calculations indicate that the newly predicted P-6m2 phase is ultra-incompressible with a high bulk modulus of 387 GPa and has a larger ideal shear strength than the P6 3 /mmc phase.

Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
